HC Deb 25 February 1946 vol 419 cc1538-9
10. Mr. Hoy

asked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production if it is his intention to give priority to fishing vessels to purchase surplus Service wire less sets.

Mr. Wilmot

Surplus radio sets suitable for fishing vessels have been sold through the trade and further sales will be made. In view of the number becoming available trawler owners should have no difficulty in buying what they want.

Mr. Hoy

In view of the necessity for these wireless sets being used for fishing, could not the Minister expedite his reply to representations already made to him by Scottish fishermen for securing these sets?

Mr. Wilmot

We are helping them all we can.

Mr. Hoy

Is the Minister aware that my information is very much to the contrary?
